As Origin said, quantum computing is not going to replace traditional computing, since it's not applicable to all classes of problems. It can be used as a co-processor in a normal PC, if the PC needs to perform certain kinds of problems which benefit from the QC.

Is there no way to abstract the general languages we use, such as C, to put all of the code in operations the qauntum computer is highly efficient at? Surely if the computer functions as a Turing machine it can do the exact same classes of computation as for example x86?

 

i'm gonna guess that since current languages are compiled to do bit operations, not really. you can probably develop some sort of virtual machine, but for that i won't even venture to guess how efficient it'll be.

my intuition would be that things are so completely different in a quantum computer than the current logic we use in classical machines would be far from being efficiently translatable.

that's probably completely BS though. am i in the right ballpark though?
